What do you think about most of the time? Do you Focus on your troubles and worries? If you spend your attention focusing on what you don’t want, then it is easy to fall into the pessimistic trap. If you instead spend most of your time thinking about what you do want out of life in various areas, then you become more focused. So focus on what you want. Post reminders on post-its and whiteboards in your surroundings to keep your attention where it needs to be.

Be grateful for what you have.

What you want may be something out there in the future, but it is also important to view what you have right now, in the right way, to keep an optimistic viewpoint. Appreciate all the little and the big things in life instead of focusing too much on what you do not have.

Shape the input

If you let pessimistic and negative thinking into your mind, then it will be pretty much impossible to stay optimistic about life. Take a closer look at what books, movies, TV, news, and music you consume and how they affect you. Look at how the people closest to you too such as friends and family influence your thoughts, then take action to cut out or reduce the most harmful sources as best you can and replace those in your life with more positive influences.

Set the Scene for your day.

What you do early in the day often sets up the scene for that day. Here are some suggestions that will help you set yourself up for an optimistic day: Spend a few minutes in the morning in meditation or thinking about what you want and your goals. Spend a few of those minutes being grateful for what you have. Exercise. Do the more important things of your day first.

Be good and kind to yourself

How you view yourself and treat yourself has a huge impact on how you view the world around you and interact with it. Here is one way to be good and kind to yourself: Write down five things each night that you are grateful for about yourself. Also, don’t beat yourself up when you fall short of a goal or make a mistake.

I hope this gives you some great ideas for steps you can take to change your outlook to one of optimism. Your future self will thank you for it!

Reaching and Maintaining good health is not as difficult as you might think. Your body has mechanisms that are built in for taking care of itself. The problem is that sometimes people forget that for these built-in mechanisms to work, they are to maintain a specific diet as every one of the nutrients they get from foods they eat contributes to the maintenance of body chemistry that allows the body to function smoothly.

The term body chemistry applies to processes that occur inside the body from your heart beating to the production of cells. These processes are made possible by chemicals the body produces. Based on this definition of body chemistry, we can then deduce that balanced body chemistry is having the right amounts of chemicals to support the proper functioning of the body.

The health of a person is said to be good when his body chemistry is well balanced. Your body continually needs the nutrients provided by the food that you eat to maintain this balance. You get proteins (amino acids), vitamin, minerals, and fats which your body uses for maintaining and sustaining its operations. Health problems can result from too little or too much of these nutrients.

How does body chemistry affect your body?

Your biochemistry constantly changes. It changes when you eat, study, work, exercise, and sleep. After jogging your heart rate goes faster, or your blood pressure rises after arguing with somebody. Also when you eat, the sugar in your blood increases.

Every activity you do could be damaging or beneficial depending on the chemical changes created that either balance or cause an imbalance in your body chemistry.

When your weight is healthy for your height and body type, meaning you are neither fat nor thin, and your blood pressure is also normal, and you do not suffer from any health problems you have balanced body chemistry. On the flip side, when you weigh more or less than you should, you are also more likely to have abnormal blood pressure and suffer from various health problems resulting in imbalanced body chemistry.

One important aspect that contributes to body chemistry balance or imbalance is the amount of acid/alkaline in your body. PH is the measurement of the acid or alkaline content in your body. If your pH level is lower than seven, this means your body contains more acid while if it is more than seven, this means your body is more alkaline. The neutral pH level for everyone is at 7.

Medically it has been proven that when your urine and saliva are a bit over 7 PH level, your body works at it's best, even though your blood PH is slightly alkaline. It is at this pH level that the body is equipped to fend off fatigue and illnesses. Your metabolism works well, and you can keep your proper weight.

You could face dangerous health problems over a long-term period if your body suffers from over-acidity because, to counter this acidity, your body is forced to get nutrients from your vital organs, weakening your body until it's no longer able to perform its tasks.

What for my next blog, where I will explain further how chemistry and balance plays a huge part in maintaining your health.

​Research indicates that people benefit more from exercise and weight loss when they believe it will have a positive effect. Positive thinking has also been shown to increase energy levels, which is likely to keep you on your workout schedule and help your efforts during the workout. Further, positive thinking will help you eliminate, or resist, barriers to working out. Positive thoughts are empowering. A negative attitude can set processes in motion that makes things like exercise and losing weight difficult, if not impossible. Here is a story of two completely different mindsets. One person with a positive thinking mindset and the other with a negative thinking mindset.

One day a traveler was walking along a road on his journey from one village to another. As he walked he noticed a monk tending the ground in the fields beside the road. The monk said "Good day" to the traveler, and the traveler nodded to the monk. The traveler then turned to the monk and said, "Excuse me, do you mind if I ask you a question?".

"Not at all," replied the monk.

"I am traveling from the village in the mountains to the village in the valley and I was wondering if you knew what it is like in the village in the valley?"

"Tell me," said the monk, "What was your experience of the village in the mountains?"

"Dreadful," replied the traveler, "to be honest I am glad to be away from there. I found the people most unwelcoming. When I first arrived I was greeted coldly. I was never made to feel part of the village no matter how hard I tried. The villagers keep very much to themselves; they don't take kindly to strangers. So tell me, what can I expect in the village in the valley?"

"I am sorry to tell you," said the monk, "but I think your experience will be much the same there".

The traveler hung his head despondently and walked on.

A while later another traveler was journeying down the same road and he also came upon the monk.

"I'm going to the village in the valley," said the second traveler, "Do you know what it is like?"

"I do," replied the monk "But first tell me - where have you come from?"

"I've come from the village in the mountains."

"And how was that?"

"It was a wonderful experience. I would have stayed if I could but I am committed to traveling on. I felt as though I was a memberof the family in the village. The elders gave me much advice, the children laughed and joked with me and people were generally kind and generous. I am sad to have left there. It will always hold special memories for me. And what of the village in the valley?" he asked again.

"I think you will find it much the same" replied the monk, "Good day to you".

"Good day and thank you," the traveler replied, smiled, and journeyed on.

A positive attitude feeds itself. When you choose to have a positive attitude to life, it changes your life in many ways. It changes your thoughts, your goals and the actions that you take on a daily basis and also the results that you receive as in the story above.

The key to remember is that you control your attitude. It also doesn’t happen automatically. Like all good things in life, you have to work at it. Attitude does not emerge from what happens to you, but instead from how you decide to interpret what happens to you.​Sometimes, of course, this is easier said than done. Here are a couple of things you can do today to start changing your attitude for the positive.

Avoid Negative media. This includes Social Media! If you are filling your head up all day with people unhappy with everything in their life you will, in turn, fill up with all their negativity. You need to purposely shut those people out of your life.

Use positive words. The words that come out of your mouth aren't just a reflection of what's in your brain--they're programming your brain how to think.

Fill your mind with positive thoughts. Spend at least 15 minutes every morning to read, view, or listen to something inspirational or motivational, like listening to a podcast while you exercise.

Start your day with Gratitude. Every morning the first thing you should do is thank God, or the universe, whatever you believe in, and have gratitude for everything you have. Look around and notice all the blessings that you have, from the food on your table, to your children, to just have another breath. One great way to give Gratitude is with a journal. You can pick up any journal or notebook on hand and every morning just write down 3 things you are grateful for. By starting your day with Gratitude you start with a positive outlook for the day and that will help carry over an outlook of positivity.

Have you heard that sitting today is now equivalent to smoking, when it comes to your health? This new health hazard happens when you sit down for more than 30 minutes at a time. On average, people sit for about 12 hours a day, and many of us do this 12 hours a day at work! It may not even matter that you exercise at some point in the day. Sitting over 30 minutes at a stretch has been shown to shorten your lifespan.

Here are some other ways sitting for long periods of time can cause havoc on your health:

It can hurt your heart

Sedentary behavior is associated with obesity, insulin resistance and fat deposition in the heart, all of which can lead to injury to heart cells.

Dementia is more likely in your future

Anything that reduces blood flow (such as long periods of inactivity) reduces brain function, especially in the areas of the brain that govern short-term memory. Sedentary behavior has been repeatedly associated with many chronic diseases, including cognitive impairment, and studies show the number of hours you spend sitting is proportional to your increased risk of Alzheimer’s.

You will undo your time at the gym

Studies have shown that vigorous physical activity doesn’t cancel out the negative impact of time spent being sedentary, which appears to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (the leading cause of death) and diabetes, even among people who exercise regularly.

Risk for Diabetes Increase

Studies have found that people who were more sedentary were more likely to develop type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome than those who were less sedentary.

Cancer risk rises

Studies also found that two hours a day of sedentary behavior was linked to an 8% increase in colon cancer risk, a 10% increase in endometrial cancer risk and a 6% increase in risk for lung cancer.
​
What can you do today to stop the sitting cycle?

Use your smart phone

Set an alarm or reminder on your phone to stand up every 30 minutes. If you are at your desk it can be as simple as standing up and stretching, or just take a bathroom break or walk from your desk to the window. If you are watching TV do the same. Get up during a commercial break or just pause the TV (it will still be there when you are done!) The point is to just get active!

Purchase and use an activity tracker

Next, purchase an activity tracker. They may not be perfect, but they do a pretty good job of monitoring your activity level. There are many tracker options available at all different price levels. Each night monitor your results and try and beat it the next day. By trying to make it a game, and challenge yourself, you have a better chance of sticking with it.

Essential oils have gained popularity in the world today due to their ability to enhance lives by offering various benefits such as dietary and cosmetic use as well as religious and spiritual significance. Essential oils refer to highly concentrated oils retrieved naturally from plants. They are extracted through the use of distillation often known a distillation by steam or water. These oils are volatile with aromatic compounds and they can be found either in seeds, flowers, stems, barks or any other part of the plants including the roots.

How are they used?

The powers of essential oils may be accessed in different ways.

Aromatic diffusion and topical application- the oils, may be used to diffuse cinnamon essential oil in the air and this helps its users to enjoy anti-microbial properties of the oils. It is thus used in cleaning the air.

All-purpose cleaner- the essential oils more specifically the tea tree oil and the lemon oil act as disinfectants once added to warm water and then sprayed.

Natural mosquito repellant- Some distinct essential oils such as the eucalyptus oil, the citronella oil, and the lemongrass oil are added to natural sprays used in repelling mosquitos.

Relief- the essential oils help with exhaustion, vertigo or nausea and is also good for headaches.

The essential oils, specifically the frankincense help in stimulating one’s immune system and it improves the health of those who have bronchitis, coughing problems or asthma.

​How they benefit health

The essential oils are used to fight cold and flu symptoms, assist in elevation of pain, help improve or heal any skin conditions and could be used to help balance one's hormones.

Aromatherapy refers to a non-invasive way through which essential oils are applied in treating various medical conditions. The aromatherapy can easily be applied in combination with other therapies. Lavandin oil, neroli oil as well as the sandalwood oil are some of the common essential used in aromatherapy and they illustrate the application of essential oils for medical purposes.

How to best use them

Inhalation: this involves the use of the oils on hot compress or hot water with a standard dose of 10 drops. Be careful though as prolonged inhalation of the oils may lead to lethargy, nausea, dizziness or headaches.

Baths: so as to avoid any side effects, essential oils used for bathing should be mixed with an emulsifier such as sesame oil, milk or even salt. These emulsifiers help in dispersing the oils evenly. This avoids the direct application of the oils which cause them to float thus minimizing their use.

Some of the essential oils that should be avoided during bath are cinnamon oil, thyme oil, the oregano oil and the tulsi since they are spicy. Phototoxic oils should be avoided as well. The recommended oils are the lavender oil, the clary sage oil, peppermint oil, the rose oil, eucalyptus oil, sandalwood oil, the frankincense or the geranium oil.

Have you ever thought about how healthy the air in your house is? Well, to most people getting rid of unpleasant odors, removing clutter and trash and mopping away visible dust and dirt is what cleaning is. Unknown to you, the invisible, odorless air in your home may be the “dirtiest” place. It is very important to ensure that your indoor environment is comfortable and healthy to minimize the risk of indoor health concerns.

Repeated exposure to pollutants such as dust and toxic chemical from fabric paint or flooring material may adversely affect your health. Some signs of such exposure include irritation of the eyes, throat, and nose as well as frequent headaches. Fatigue and dizziness are also common effects of poor indoor air quality. Symptoms of diseases such as asthma could also show up on exposure to pollutants. Long-term effects of continuous exposure to pollutants include cancer, heart diseases and respiratory diseases which could be fatal or severely debilitating.

Ways of purifying indoor air

Increasing ventilation

This is one of the simplest and basic methods of improving indoor air quality. It will reduce the moisture levels which is a common problem experienced indoors. Ensure that you open the windows every day even for a few minutes. Also, you can install trickle vents that will circle and purify the air you are breathing indoors. Exhaust fans could also be used since they will help remove the pollutants to the outside. The main source of indoor pollution is the kitchen which is where most ventilation tools need to be installed.

Houseplants

Houseplants are an efficient way of rejuvenating and purifying the air both at the workplace and in our houses. This is according to a study done by NASA which stated that having plants in the house helps in elimination of ammonia and benzene related toxins thus improving air quality and safeguarding our health. The Lady Palm and the Peace Lily are the recommended plants to help in purifying indoor air.

Vacuum with a HEPA filter

Using the wrong vacuum to clean your home can exhaust more dust and other air contaminants. This can actually contribute to asthma, allergic reactions, and other illnesses. To prevent this, it would be essential to ensure that you use a vacuum with a High-Efficiency Particulate Arrestance (HEPA) filter. When using a quality HEPA filter, the finest dust is picked up and no particles leak out at the points where nozzles and hoses connect. Cleaning regularly with a vacuum with a HEPA filter improves indoor air quality by reducing harmful chemicals and the amount of airborne allergens in your home.

Air Purifiers
​
You can improve indoor air quality by using a purifier that eliminates VOCs from paint, cleaning chemicals, and furniture and one that does not produce ozone. The purifier should be one that really works and does not just blow air like a fan.
​
To improve indoor air quality, ensure you use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaners and air fresheners and groom your pets regularly.

If you are looking for a good Air Purifier we really think this one does the best for the money:

When you savor the juicy and delicious mangoes, it’s highly probable that you don’t think about the health benefits you get with every bite. Mango, known as the king of fruit, has been part of the human diet for thousands of years. In addition to the luscious taste, mangoes contain antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins.

Stabilizes Blood Pressure

Due to the circumstances we face in our day to day lives, fluctuations in the blood pressure are bound to be experienced. It’s of uttermost importance that necessary measures are put in place to ensure that blood pressure is stabilized at all times. Well, the good news is mangoes have just the necessary nutrients to facilitate this. The delicacy is highly rich in potassium and magnesium which are key minerals in the maintenance of low blood pressure.

Mangoes are also ideal for high blood pressure patients as they contain very minimal amounts of sodium.

Facilitates Normal Brain Functioning

The brain is one of the most vital parts of the body and thus we should do everything in our power to ensure it’s functioning properly. Mangoes contain Vitamin B and B6 which are essential for maintaining healthy neurotransmitters. If one happens to notice some sort of difficulty in concentration, frequent mood swings or inconsistent sleep patterns; then that’s a sign that Vitamin B and B6 are lacking in the body. Eat mangoes and you’ll definitely notice the changes.

Keeps the Heart at Bay

The current generation is really ailing from heart-related diseases. This is mostly due to the current lifestyle that involves minimal consumption of fruits. Mangoes contain pectin fiber in abundance which naturally lowers the level of cholesterol in the body. As such, adding mangoes to your daily diet significantly reduces the chances of getting heart-related diseases. Also, those who already have the complications can use mangoes for their richness in Vitamin B and Magnesium. The nutrients have immense benefits for the heart patients.

Enhance Immunity

Mangoes are also key in boosting the human body’s immunity. They contain beta-carotene which plays an important role in maintaining an immune health system for the body. In this way, the body is protected from diseases and infections. Excess beta-carotene is automatically converted to Vitamin A which still works to improve the body’s immunity.

Treats Constipation and Anemia​Mangoes are very rich in fiber which is vital in the digestion process. It, therefore, acts as a natural remedy to cases of constipation. Anemic people tend to lack sufficient amounts of iron in their bodies which in turn results to even more serious health complications. To avoid all these, mangoes should be consumed daily (especially by pregnant women) as they are rich in iron.

Best Ways to Eat Mangoes

Consumption of mangoes in one traditional way can be quite monotonous and boring. There are fun ways to diversify your mango-eating experience. You can make mango soups and sauces, smoothies, ice creams, yogurts, pudding, salsa, pie, and mango mash.

Whether you want your house to smell like pine forests, spring meadows at dawn, clean laundry, or apple cinnamon strudel, rest assured you’ll get an air freshener that will provide just that. Air fresheners come in many different forms and include sprays, plug-ins, gels, candles, beads, and candles. But did you know that while air fresheners provide a sweet-smelling fragrance in your home, they don’t neutralize smells and they may be damaging your health?

Basic ingredients found in air freshener include petroleum distillates, p-dichlorobenzene, formaldehyde, and aerosol propellants. These chemicals can result in anemia, increased cancer risk, changes to the blood, difficulty breathing, watery eyes, respiratory problems, asthma attacks, pulmonary damage, chronic fatigue syndrome, liver damage, skin lesions among others disorders. Also, VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are released into the air by air fresheners. VOCs are chemicals that easily turn into gas or vapor at room temperature.

Indoor Air Quality

Air fresheners are manufactured and bought with the aim of improving indoor air quality, and it’s quite ironic that making your home smell better makes it more toxic instead. Your home is a relatively closed space and the use of these products can diminish air quality and this can result in the chemicals being trapped in your system and your family’s. Pets have a faster metabolism and the chemicals can cause detrimental harm to them.

Different Kinds of Air Fresheners

The major types of air fresheners include:

Room sprays: Air fresheners mostly come in spray form. These are often aerosol or pump sprays which are made to cover up odors or simply sanitize the room.

Diffusers: These are fresheners that are set to disperse and release fragrance in the air and they are said to be either passive or active. The active diffusers use certain sources of energy (either battery of electric power) so that the scent can be activated. The passive diffusers, on the other hand, need no energy and will disperse the fragrance from a substrate. Examples of the passive diffusers are the reed diffuser, gel diffuser, and the adjustable solid diffusers.

Other specific types of air fresheners include the incense, potpourri, sachets, fragrance oils and fragrance oil burning lamp just to mention a few.

Alternatives to Air Freshener

Rather than masking odors and disabling your sense of smell altogether, you can make far healthier choices that are free of chemicals such phthalates and VOCs. Opening windows is an important part of maintaining indoor air quality as it can help eliminate unpleasant odors. On a day with a slight breeze and good air quality, open windows on all sides of your house to get air moving in a cross breeze. Baking soda, white vinegar, and natural absorbents such as zeolite and activated charcoal effective in removing odors when placed in a stinky area. You can as well create your own potpourri using flowers, spices, and bulk herbs.

If you keep your house clean, you will help keep away odors. Always remember, you are what you breath

People are always in constant search of better products to boost their health and well-being. Well, water has been no exception to this revolution. Consumers are seeking products that better their health and at the same time comfortable and safe for consumption. Following this, most water manufacturers have been forced to come up with quality products to meet the needs of their customers.

As such there are new waters that have come up which are apparently alkaline, others contain amino acids as additives and so on. All in all, we are in the search for the best bottled water.

Alkaline Water

Alkaline water contains potassium, bicarbonate, silica, magnesium, and calcium which are strong alkalizing compounds. This creates the variation between it and normal tap water which has a pH of around 7. It is however recommended that one should drink water with a higher pH than 7 as it is healthier as it buffers the acidity in the body.

Alkaline water has been shown to have some benefits in the body. Some of these benefits include:Improvement of gut health

Ideal for athletes and physically active people

Significantly reduce liver damage

A good example of a renowned alkaline water is ‘Essentia’ which has a pH of 9.5. This water brand has gained popularity in the wake of the alkaline water revolution.

Pure Deep Ocean Water

A question may be running through one’s mind; how can ocean water that is saline be pure and good for drinking? Well, this is actually very possible. Somewhere very deep in the Pacific Ocean floor, rests a fresh water source. The water is sourced from a current that collects the melting fresh water produced by the glaciers that melt in Greenland and Iceland. Being that the fresh water has a higher density compared to salty water, the fresh water sinks below the salty ocean water. Companies like Kona Deep Water claim to have the best bottled water from the ocean floor.

At this point, the water has gathered extremely beneficial minerals and electrolytes which provides it with a uniquely refreshing taste. The good thing about this water is that no artificial additives are added to it. All the qualities it has are naturally collected from the ocean. Some of the minerals it collects include calcium chloride, magnesium, sodium, and magnesium that work collectively to produce an amazingly rejuvenating water-drinking experience.

Water with Amino Acids

Though this sector has not been fully ventured into, some people, especially those who work out, have tried adding amino acids to their water. This is all in a bid to obtain energy and retains water in the muscles. However, for some people, this has not been the case. Some have experienced positive results.No conclusive studies have been done to fully support or dismiss these types of water. Whatever your opinion is about bottled water and what makes the best bottled water, the most important thing is to keep your body hydrated.

Chances are you’ve already heard of quinoa, but have you heard of kaniwa? The two are closely related and should not be confused. Kaniwa is a seed from the flowering plant referred to as goosefoot and it originates from Bolivia and Peru in South America. It has been a staple food for the people of Andes for generations. This super seed is naturally gluten-free, does not contain saponins and is easy-to-digest. Kaniwa has a nutty and slightly sweet flavor and is a nutritious addition to any meal.

Health benefits

Whole grains contain beneficial nutrients and more dietary fiber which requires less processing. There are many health benefits that you can get by incorporating kaniwa into your daily diet.

Compared to its cousin quinoa and brown rice, kaniwa contains 3% more protein and is also high in amino acids and natural fiber. Also, every serving of 160 calories gives you 7 grams of powerful protein. This is great for vegetarians, vegan and even meat eaters who want to get more proteins in a healthier way. Specifically, kaniwa is rich in lysine which is an amino acid that is present in small amounts in grain products

Kaniwa is gluten-free which means it’s effective for patients with celiac diseases as it serves as an efficient source of complex carbohydrates. The grain also has a lot of vitamins and minerals which are essential for the psychological functioning of the body. Examples of these include manganese, copper, zinc, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin B, and vitamin E.

Also, kaniwa has more flavonoids than Quinoa specifically quercetin and isorhamnetin. These are flavonoids known to assist in the reduction of inflammatory diseases, helps in improvement of cardiovascular health, inhibits growth of certain bacteria and viruses, and provides anti-aging benefits for the skin.How to prepare Kaniwa

As an addition to a healthy meal, kaniwa is easy to prepare. It can be taken as a meal or side dish, but can also be combined with other ingredients to create flavorful dishes. The grain may be cooked like any other type of whole gain where it’s simmered in water until it gets soft. A ratio of kaniwa to water of 1:2 is recommended where one cup of Kaniwa is cooked with two cups of water. Simmer the grains for 15 to 20 minutes and stir occasionally till it gets soft.

When cooked in combination with other ingredients ½ to 1 cup of cooked Kaniwa may be added to waffle batter or pancake depending on the batch size. It can be served together with maple syrup, dried and fresh fruits and nuts. Kaniwa can also be served in a savory breakfast bowl with a sprinkling of cheese shreds and little vegan butter. You can also enjoy the healthy seeds with vegetables, meats, tofu, seafood or in soufflés, soups, and casseroles. When added to baked goods, kaniwa adds texture, taste, and most importantly, nutrition. The seeds can be ground into a flour that can be used to make bread or porridge.
